A draft pick won’t arrive for a few years. It’s more a matter of seeing what the young guys have over the next couple of years and if they develop look for free agents after next season or later. Bryant seems to be trending in the wrong direction offensively. I’m not convinced Taylor will be as good in a lineup where he is one of the centerpiece guys. He got lots of good pitches to hit in LA due to their lineup. I don’t see why the team would want to sign either of these guys. I assume they will each get at least 4 years. Taylor is already 31.

What says that Bryant is trending down?

Bryant looks fine: 25 homers, .835 OPS, and 124 OPS+ total last season. Hit .265. Nothing in his stats says he's trending down. Further, the Nats have nobody playing 3B, not in the majors or the minors.
